The innovative culinary team at Vergelegen Wine Estate in Somerset West came up with a brilliant concept to entertain guests in the the scenic surroundings of their cattle pastures called Nguni Cafè. It’s calving season too, so you are bound to see scores of newborns.
The only item on the menu is gourmet hotdogs (not beef) with all the trimmings.

“The ‘loaded’ Asian hotdog offers topping ingredients such as slaw, Japanese-style (kewpie) mayonnaise and nori seaweed; the German-inspired topping includes mustard, sauerkraut and pickles; and the French-style topping incorporates truffle aioli, Comté cows’ milk cheese, and bacon bits,” says Vergelegen Executive Chef Michael Cooke.
“You can order fries with mayonnaise on the side, and we’ve developed the ultimate chocolate éclair with milk tart filling.”
The Nguni Pop-up Café is open Wednesdays to Sundays from 10h00-17h00, walk-ins only, for sit down and takeaway meals, for a maximum of 50 people at a time.
Opening prices are R80/hotdog with topping, R40 for a kiddies’ hot dog, R35 for the dessert éclair, R30 for side fries. Guests can order Vergelegen wine or bubbly by the glass, or choose from a variety of soft drinks, and coffee.
